"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all of your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." Mark 12:30

Preparing and Tagging Your Merchandise

Clothes should be freshly laundered, pressed and neatly hung. All other items should be wiped clean. Bring only items you would purchase for your child.

 

Use a 3x5 index card (use the whole card do not cut). Cards MUST be filled out according to the diagram below.  Begin writing on the card about one-third of the way down. Place the pin or zip/cable tie at the very top of the card. This will enable us to simply cut the card at check-out rather than remove the pin.

 

If you would like your items to be sold at 1/2 price on Sunday, fill out the price in RED ONLY

 

Add the letter "D" on the card's left lower hand corner ONLY if you choose to donate unsold item. 

 

Price items ONLY in $1.00 increments starting at $1.00. Be priced to sell!!!  As a general rule you will want to price items at about 1/4 to 1/3 of their retail price. With name brand or boutique brand items sold at the higher end. Even the newest items should not be priced at more that 1/2 the original retail price. The one exception to this rule would be indoor/outdoor toys (kitchens, playhouses, etc...). These types of toys are in higher demand thus you can expect between 1/3 to 1/2 of the original retail price.  After determining a price, ask yourself, "Would I pay $__ for this?"

 

 

How to Attach Tags-Clothing:

 

All clothing must be on hangers with the hanger facing to the left as illustrated (like a question mark). 

Safety pin the index card to the top right hand corner of the garment when looking at the front. NO straight pins or little gold pins. Do NOT attach 3x5 cards to hangers. (see diagram below)

 

Zip/cable ties may also be used and are best fastened to clothing by looping through top button hole or tag (make sure the 3x5 card hangs outside of clothing). Do NOT attach 3x5 cards to hangers.

 

Children’s sizing codes are: 0-3m, 3m, 6m, 9m, 12m, 18m, 24m, 2T, 3T, 4T,5, 6, 6x through junior sizes.   

 

S, M, L, XL are only acceptable for MATERNITY clothing.

 

Two piece outfits sell best so match up single items if possible. Use only one hanger for two piece outfits. Hang the shirt first, then pin the pants, skirt or shorts to the back of the shirt at the shoulder seams with two safety pins. Do not pin second pieces inside of the shirt or jacket, they cannot be seen easily.

***To reduce check in time, have your items sorted by size and gender (rubber band or twist tie sizes together).

How To Attach Tags (Non-Hanging Items):

Onesies - must be in a clear ziplock bag with tag placed inside of the bag (sell better if grouped by size).

Toys - toys should include all parts. Any tiny, loose pieces can be packaged in a ziplock bag. Attach the bag to the main item with packing tape. Do not bring items with missing parts. If a toy requires batteries to operate, they must be included for acceptance.

Books and Videos - please do not use packing tape on books and videos, since it usually tears the covers. Make sure that videos work, and secure tag with two pieces of masking tape or put in ziplock bags. If packaging multiples together, write all the titles on the tag.

Shoes - must be tied together in pairs by the shoelaces or through the eyes of the shoes. Tie sandles together with a ribbon.  Pin the card to the shoelaces or the ribbon. Do NOT box or bag shoes. Shoes and laces must be in excellent condition

Loose Articles - bibs, bows, smaller toys, etc... must be in a clear ziplock bag with tag placed inside of the bag.
